In this episode, we’re doing something a little different. I’m opening up my private monthly book club discussion (usually just for Flying Higher members) and sharing it with you. This month we read the bestselling novel Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke.
We get into the tradwife aesthetic, performative Christianity, and the difference between a woman who genuinely loves a homemaking life and a system that demands every woman perform one.
Key Takeaways:
- The reason the beautiful tradwife image is so seductive
- The most convincing performances usually start with a belief that’s actually sincere.
- One character’s storyline sparked a heated disagreement in the group about who gets to be “smart” in stories like this one, and why that distinction matters
- There’s a subtle difference between a woman choosing a traditional role and a woman being conditioned into one, and it changes everything about how we respond to the trend.
- What does authentic faith look like once the performance stops?
If you’re a divorced Christian woman who loves self-development and learning new things, consider joining the Flying Higher community!
